Calculate the mass in grams of hydrogen chloride produced when \(5.6 \mathrm{~L}\) of molecular hydrogen measured at STP react with an excess of molecular chlorine gas.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass of Hydrogen Chloride produced is 18.25g

Step by step solution

01

Convert Hydrogen volume into moles

Start by converting the volume of Hydrogen given (5.6 L) into moles using the ideal gas law. At STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L. Therefore, the amount of Hydrogen in moles is 5.6 L / 22.4 L/mol = 0.25mol.
02

Apply Stoichiometry

Apply stoichiometry to determine the amount of Hydrogen Chloride produced. From the balanced reaction, we have the stoichiometric ratio of 1:2 for H2 and HCl respectively. Therefore, if there are 0.25mol of Hydrogen, there will be 2 times that moles of Hydrogen Chloride formed that is 2 * 0.25mol = 0.5mol.
03

Convert moles of Hydrogen Chloride to grams

The final step is to convert the moles of Hydrogen Chloride to grams. The molar mass of HCl is 36.5g/mol. So, the mass of Hydrogen Chloride is 0.5mol * 36.5g/mol = 18.25g.

Most popular questions from this chapter

The temperature of a real gas that is allowed to expand into a vacuum usually drops. Explain.

In \(2.00 \mathrm{~min}, 29.7 \mathrm{~mL}\) of He effuse through a small hole. Under the same conditions of pressure and temperature, \(10.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of a mixture of \(\mathrm{CO}\) and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) effuse through the hole in the same amount of time. Calculate the percent composition by volume of the mixture.

Would it be easier to drink water with a straw on top of Mt. Everest or at the foot? Explain.

Discuss the following phenomena in terms of the gas laws: (a) the pressure in an automobile tire increasing on a hot day, (b) the "popping" of a paper bag, (c) the expansion of a weather balloon as it rises in the air, (d) the loud noise heard when a lightbulb shatters.

Apply your knowledge of the kinetic theory of gases to these situations. (a) Does a single molecule have a temperature? (b) Two flasks of volumes \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\left(V_{2}>V_{1}\right)\) contain the same number of helium atoms at the same temperature. (i) Compare the root- mean-square (rms) speeds and average kinetic energies of the helium (He) atoms in the flasks. (ii) Compare the frequency and the force with which the He atoms collide with the walls of their containers (c) Equal numbers of He atoms are placed in two flasks of the same volume at temperatures \(T_{1}\) and \(T_{2}\left(T_{2}>T_{1}\right)\) (i) Compare the rms speeds of the atoms in the two flasks. (ii) Compare the frequency and the force with which the He atoms collide with the walls of their containers. (d) Equal numbers of He and neon (Ne) atoms are placed in two flasks of the same volume and the temperature of both gases is \(74^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Comment on the validity of these statements: (i) The rms speed of He is equal to that of Ne. (ii) The average kinetic energies of the two gases are equal. (iii) The rms speed of each He atom is \(1.47 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\).
